SMART’s logo designs are trademarked and must display a ™ symbol according to the logo guidelines in SMART’s Corporate Logo Guide (PDF 357 KB).

Marking trademarks

The first occurrence of a SMART trademark in the body of any text should be followed by the trademark symbol,™.

If the formatted ™ symbol is not available to you, simply use parentheses to denote the trademark designation, (TM). Do not include a space before the trademark symbol or use italics for the trademark symbol, regardless of the format of text that precedes it.

Consistency

Use the exact form of SMART's trademarks. Do not change the form of the mark. Some marks use a design in a word, or words, with a particular arrangement of lowercase and uppercase letters, or a particular font or font style. Always use only the particular design of lowercase and uppercase letters, font or font style of the mark.
